Monthly Leaderboard contest: who's in?

[Triple_D_Bet]

Curious if any of you guys want to resurrect the leaderboard contests I used to do (http://www.sportsbookreview.com/foru...l#post18821814). As always open to feedback on the format, entry, etc. With clear tracking, I think we can eliminate the need to post starting/ending screenshots as well.

Could be a good opportunity to bet on people vs others too

Should add that it's a 24 hour poll fellas, need to move on this for May if we decide to do it

I find it amusing you didn't vote in your own contest.

Hah, I didn't...I'm in for up to a grand easily. While we're on the subject, I'm sure many of us find it amusing that despite your confidence in your skills, you're only willing to bet 100 points

Called management skills Tripe, it's the reason why my balance is 23x yours.

So "management skills" are why you bet less than 0.2% of your bankroll on something you claim to be extremely confident in, yet you bet over 10 times as much on nascar matchups...guess it's pretty obvious you're less confident in yourself than you claim. Rightfully so as it turns out, but funny as always

Show me where I said I'm confident in a monthly contest with extremely high variance. You can't, because I never said it.

You know I prefer skill based annual challenges, a monthly contest against multiple players is barely worth risking 100.

I just assumed you were consistent and able to realize that if you were confident in your abilities, this would be a good spot to wager more than 100 points regardless of the variance....I should have known better than to think you were capable of a reasonable deduction. I get that you don't understand EV or many of the basic concepts behind gambling and poker, and are basically just pulling a number out of thin air based on how scared you are with your "high score"...carry on

Funny how I understood +EV enough to take you for 29k in our 2014 challenge. I actually offered to wager more than 29k, but in a rare wise decision you opted to cut your losses.

Confusing winning a bet with understanding a concept you've demonstrated you don't...ya know, when people describe in detail how you're bad at this, it would probably be better if you were silent and there was some doubt, instead of chiming in and confirming it

All this talk about how you won 29k off me, and you're scared to wager more than a couple k for this contest or the rest of the year...tell us again about things you don't understand, like "variance"

[Triple_D_Bet]

Bobbo's inane ramblings aside, looks like this is a go fellas...I'll post a new thread with mostly the same rules, might add a wrinkle or two. Will try to start tomorrow, but won't require points until Monday to give folks time...I don't think anyone here is going to freeroll based on their performance tomorrow.

Fact is I offered you another 29k bet for 2015, so you could try to win it back. But you declined. Are you denying this fact, or just conveniently forgetting about my offer 4 months ago? I understand Tripe, you must be devastated now for not accepting my generous offer.

Who's denying it? I didn't want to play most of the tourneys for an entire year to assure a win over you in the show-up-and-mincash format. Under new format (and to a greater extent, the tragically short-lived actual poker skill-based format) I could easily beat you and not have to waste too much time doing it. This is something you've been told many times, maybe you should write it down this time?

But no, missing out on 29k points isn't anywhere near as devastating as it would be to you; apparently, your fear of seeing your balance dwindle too quickly has you simultaneously running your mouth about a 29k wager while shaking at the prospect of wagering more than a couple thousand to go against me again. You can claim you're better all you want, but when you don't put any significant amount of points where your mouth is, and when you make excuses like "I lost on purpose"...well, it's not hard to figure out the truth.

Do appreciate you contributing the 100 points to the pool though, sweetens the pot for the winner (almost certainly not you)

[bobbywaves]

Funny how you mock my current 4k offer, as it's beneath you. When fact is, you don't even have 4k.

Perhaps if you wagered responsibly & not recklessly, you wouldn't be pts broke.

I'm from the reality of planet earth, what planet you from son?

[bobbywaves]

Ill take the other 4k if you he doesnt want it.

If I wanted to bet you 7k instead of 3k, I would have stated that.

bobby , I'd like to go 1000 pts. heads up with you in the world cup tournaments. please confirm if interested.

[Triple_D_Bet]

Sorry fellas, real life got in the way unexpectedly...anyone have 3 PM results? If not, we'll start with Mondays results and go through end of May.

Funny how you mock my current 4k offer, as it's beneath you. When fact is, you don't even have 4k.

Perhaps if you wagered responsibly & not recklessly, you wouldn't be pts broke.

You wagered damn near your entire points bankroll last year and didn't use any bankroll management except as an excuse (which you'd then back out on when better odds were offered)...you're too dense to recognize irony though, so we'll leave it at that.

Ill take the other 4k if you he doesnt want it.

Nah, he's too scared of you or me or damn near anybody to wager anything but chump change

Points Broke

Not what planet, what reality....the Bobboverse I'd call it, where all the universes' stupid is concentrated in one person. Guess who that is

[bobbywaves]

I bet almost my whole stack last year, because an annual challenge against you is a virtual lock as I proved. I offered to go 29k again for 2015, but in a rare wise decision you declined.

So a challenge against me is a lock, yet you refuse to bet more than chump change this time? Remember what I said about being dense? (Nah, you probably never understood it anyways). Ah well, have fun trying to convince yourself you're special when we (and apparently you) know better

We know your reading comprehension sucks, but try again Tripe. I clearly said "annual" challenge against you is a lock. And if I didn't feel that way, then why did I offer you another 29k bet for 2015? Better yet, why did you decline when you think you're the better player?
